With an amount of about 18 – 19 million VND, it will be difficult for gamers to find a satisfactory laptop to adventure in the virtual world because there are rarely any products with powerful enough configuration.
Specifically, the Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming owns an Intel Core i5 9300H CPU with GTX 1050 3GB VGA, up to 8GB RAM, almost completely meeting common gaming needs.
Exterior design
Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming has an exterior made entirely of plastic, the back cover is painted with a faux metal pattern that looks quite beautiful.
From the outside, the Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming is quite ‘gentle’, not much different from popular laptop models.
It’s easy to see that the Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming focuses all the connection ports on the left side of the device.
Going inside, the first feeling when opening the Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming laptop is that the joint is not secure, the screen will shake a little.
The palm rest area of the Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming is made extremely solid, extremely well built, completely different from the outside surface.
Keyboard and touchpad
The keyboard on this laptop is both beautiful and delicious. It is difficult to find any product in this price range or a little more that has such good quality.
The touchpad of the Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming has a design in the middle of the space button, the size is a bit small compared to the device.
An interesting feature that Lenovo equips on this laptop is a cluster that ‘covers’ the webcam with a physical lever right above.
Screen
The screen of the Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming uses a TN panel, full HD 1080p resolution, bright colors and good brightness, suitable for normal use such as gaming and entertainment.
The simple reason is that it is difficult for TN panels to meet the strict and specialized needs of photo editing and design when the colors deviate quite a lot from the printed file, and the color changes greatly when changing the viewing angle.
In fact, the Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming targets low-cost gaming needs, so it’s understandable that the screen is only ‘usable’.
Hardware configuration
CPU: Intel Core i5 9300H
VGA: GTX 1050 3GB
RAM: 8GB DDR4
HDD: 1TB 5400RPM
It’s easy to see that the weakness of this configuration is the slow HDD, which makes the normal usage experience of the Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming very ‘boring’ because gamers have to wait quite a long time to turn on the software.
Practical use
First of all, we will challenge the Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming with some basic ‘weighing’ applications such as 3D Mark, PC Mark…
Overall, the configuration of the Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming is very good in its price range and benchmark software will not ‘deceive’ you at all.
A small point in the process of experiencing the Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming: This laptop’s speakers are quite loud, fireproof is okay because it has clear sound although it is a bit lacking in bass range.

The power consumption of the CPU on the Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming is limited to about 20W, normal gaming is only around 18W so it doesn’t have much of an impact, but if you play heavy games that ‘eat up’ a lot of processing power, then sometimes
Temperature and noise
Overall, the Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming has a very good temperature for a gaming laptop, playing for about half an hour, the CPU and VGA are both kept at 74 – 75 degrees Celsius – perfect.
When operating the Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming is quite quiet, playing games is only a little noisier than wind noise, not ‘howling’ loudly.
Battery life
Lenovo Ideapad L340 Gaming really doesn’t have good battery life, only about 1.5 hours of normal use (surfing the web, listening to music and watching YouTube).
This is understandable because most gaming laptops cannot last long with their batteries.
